- Old Port. Marseille’s massive rectangular port has been trading for 2,600 years, and is more of a whole district than a single sight. On three sides are quays with broad promenades enclosed mostly 18th-century former warehouses.
- Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde. It’s hard to miss this monument rising above the skyline to the south of the Old Port. It’s a 19th-century neo-Byzantine church 150 metres above the water, with a large golden statue of the Virgin and Child at the top of its tower to watch over Marseille’s maritime communities.

- Sail to Château d’If. No exploration of the seething Vieux Port – Marseille’s hectic heart and soul – is complete without a short boat trip to the photogenic island fortress of Château d’If, immortalized in Alexandre Dumas’ 1844 classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
- Dive into ancient Mediterranean civilization at MuCEM. Marseille’s ancient Mediterranean heritage comes to life inside its sharpest contemporary museum.
